FAQ
Common questions about photo booth ROI.
- How does Movebooth calculate the lead capture rate?
- Movebooth customers consistently capture 70–90% of event attendees as leads. The default in this calculator is set to 75% — a conservative estimate within that verified range. Guests provide their email and name to receive their GIF or photo via text, making the data exchange feel natural rather than transactional.
- What counts as an "event" for the ROI calculation?
- Any activation where you deploy a Movebooth unit: trade shows, corporate conferences, brand activations, retail pop-ups, festivals, or private events. Each event produces a lead list you download directly from the Movebooth dashboard.
- How should I estimate the value per captured lead?
- Start with your average customer lifetime value (LTV) multiplied by your email-to-customer conversion rate. For B2B brands, a single qualified lead may be worth $50–$500+. For DTC brands, a reasonable starting point is $5–$20 per email subscriber if you have an active nurture program. Use what your internal data supports.
- What is the payback period in the calculator?
- Payback period (in events) is how many events it takes for your lead revenue to cover your annual Movebooth subscription cost. For example: if your annual Movebooth cost is $1,188 and each event generates $500 in lead revenue, your payback period is ~2.4 events.
- Does the ROI calculation include hardware costs?
- This calculator focuses on software subscription ROI. If you purchase hardware (Movebooth photo booth from $2,499), add that to your first-year cost. For ongoing years, only the subscription applies. Alternatively, Movebooth rentals start at $399/event — no hardware investment required.
- How accurate are these ROI projections?
- The projections are as accurate as the inputs you provide. The lead capture rate (70–90%) is verified from Movebooth customer data. The lead value and number of events are your estimates. Use this calculator to build an internal business case — not as a guaranteed revenue forecast.
